However, search of Qala of Mukanna fortress where he lived several years was not the subject of special study. The goal of this article is to compare the data of important written sources with archaeological situation and specifically recently discovered site located in the mountains north of Hissar ridge surrounding Shahrisyabz Oasis on the south side. Location and the special features of this fortress nearby Kesh-Shakhrisyabz largely correspond to the descriptions of medieval authors. Discovery of stone structures located near the fortress are likely to be houses, buildings of Arab commander al-Harashī. Further archaeological studies may confirm or refute the assumptions.

But perhaps the most striking part of Alexander’s generalship was his effective responses to irregular warfare throughout his campaigns.

  • The Alexander Bromance: Male Desire and Gender Fluidity in Oliver Stone’S Historical Epic
    35.2 Helios_final:33.S Helios Pages 4/9/09 9:22 AM Page 223 The Alexander Bromance: Male Desire and Gender Fluidity in Oliver Stone’s Historical Epic KONSTANTINOS P. NIKOLOUTSOS Alexander (2004) is an epic film that generated much controversy before it was even released. The reason was the decision of its director and co- author of the script, Oliver Stone, to portray history’s greatest conqueror as a man who defied not only geographical but also sexual boundaries. Stone’s critics saw the homoeroticization of Alexander the Great as a dis- tortion of the historical record.1 He, on the other hand, defended his choice by stating that a historical advisor, Robin Lane Fox, was on set to ensure the accuracy of the project. In the United States, the film was a box office failure,2 a fact attributed by Stone himself to an “American apathy to ancient history” (Scott 2004) as well as to a “raging funda- mentalism in morality” (James 2005), especially in the South. This paper examines Alexander’s sexual agenda in an attempt to deter- mine the relation between historical accuracy and artistic license3—and assess the erotics of the film independently of this debate. I shall argue that, whereas certain male characters (such as Alexander’s father Philip) are fashioned in full agreement with the protocols of sexuality in Greek antiquity, the construction of Alexander’s own erotic image both repro- duces and violates these protocols. Focusing on the relationship between Alexander and his most intimate friend, Hephaestion, I shall expose Stone’s conflicting efforts to eroticize this relationship by using standard Hollywood romance formulas and at the same time to de-eroticize it by reinscribing the physical interactions between these two male characters within heteronormative visual regimes.

The Cophen [“KAH-pen”] Campaign began an invasion into this region that occurred after the siege of Sogdian Rock.

An army mutinied near the Hyphasis [“hye-FAY-sis”] River in this region after being worn out by years of campaigning. (*) Porus lost the Battle of the Hydaspes [“hye-DAS-pees”] in this region despite employing war elephants. This was the easternmost region invaded by a general after winning the battles of Issus and Gaugamela against the Persian Achaemenid Empire.

  • The History of Alexander the Great by Cleitarchus Reconstructed In
    Concerning Alexander: The History of Alexander the Great by Cleitarchus Reconstructed in English by Andrew Chugg – see also www.alexanderstomb.com “In spite of the objections of Tarn, I regard it as certain that whatever source Diodorus used, it was the same as that employed by Curtius.

However, there are indications that some kind of summary dealing with Alexander’s birth and his youth may have been included. Notably, Hammond shows in Sources 19-20 that Plutarch’s date for Alexander’s birth comes from Timaeus, a contemporary of Cleitarchus. But there is a fragment (Jacoby F 7) of Cleitarchus from Clement of Alexandria, which notes that both Timaeus and Cleitarchus gave exactly 820 years for the period from the invasion of the Heraclidae to Alexander’s crossing into Asia, whereas other Greek historians, such as Eratosthenes, gave wildly variant figures (cf. Jacoby F 36). This strongly indicates that Cleitarchus made use of Timaeus’ work (cf.

  • Notes on Alexander in Central Asia Waldemar Heckel
    Notes on Alexander in Central Asia Waldemar Heckel Abstract: This paper examines the satrapal arrangements made by Alexander in Central Asia (particularly Baktria, Sogdiana, Areia and Drangiana) in the years leading up to his departure in 327 for India. In the process it examines the relationship of Artabazos’ family and adherents to both Alexander and the other nobles of the area. Of particular interest is the position of Artabazos and his daughter Barsine in relation to Oxyartes and Alexander’s wife Rhoxane, the discussion of which touches on chronological problems of the years 328 and 327. As a postscript, an attempt is made to make sense of the uprising in Baktria, which occurred after the false news of Alexander’s death in India. Keywords: Areia, Arsames, Arsakes, Artabazos, Baktria, Barsine, Boxos, Chorienes, Drangiana, Oxyartes, Rhoxane, Rock of Sogdiana, Sisimithres, Sogdiana. Mercenary revolt. 1. ARSAKES, ARSAMES, AND THE SATRAPY OF DRANGIANA The extant Alexander historians provide conflicting details concerning the king’s satrapal appointments in the years 330–325, and in many cases the evidence of Curtius is superior to that of Arrian. In part this is due to the latter’s decision to discuss a number of key episodes— the Kleitos affair, the introduction of proskynesis, the Hermolaos conspiracy, and the king’s marriage to Rhoxane—out of historical context. But disagreement is not limited to the events of 329–327. In 2017, I noted that the popular belief that Sibyrtios was briefly installed as satrap of Karmania is based on an incorrect notice in Arrian (6.27.1), who had carelessly summarized events, contradicted by the evidence of Curtius (9.10.21–2).1 The information about the appointment of Amminapes is similarly confused: we are told that this man, who had spent time in exile in Macedonia during the reign of Artaxerxes III Ochos (Curt.
